Firstly I'm NOT hating on Cotto but last nights fight solidified for me that he isn't a Warrior. Sure he kept fighting with the cut, but so has thousands of other fighters over the years. That cut would have been a scratch for someone like Gatti.
I just didn't like the way he was running away as well. He really wasn't firing at that point and fight was still close.
I'm no DLH fan, but even he threw everything at Mosley and Ike late.
I just can't imagine Pac, Marquez, Morales, Mosley and so on running like that. Even Floyd wouldn't run like that.
Cotto is a very very good boxer with great skills but he's not a warrior.

cotto is willing to fight the toughest WWs out there so I give him a pass on the warrior bullshit.
He doesn't mean like that. He means people who get into wars. Cotto doesn't get into wars. It's like calling Mayweather a warrior, makes no sense. Cotto doesn't stand and bang like Pacman or Duran does.
So if what he meant by warrior is stand and bang. Cotto doesn't fit the bill.
Okay, I understand.

he lost the fight, but he gained a ton of respect in my book yesterday....
He is a warrior, no one can take that away from him. To be fair, that cut was impairing his vision, and I think Clottey hurt him in the mid rounds. Cotto saw that, on the inside, he wasn't able to land as much, so he tried another game plan.
Some fighters like Mosley and DLH would have gone all out, but Cotto is more intelligent and chose to box.

I agree with TS. The thing is I saw Clottey doing the boxing last night, working behind his jab landing counters blocking punches, and I saw Cotto get taken out of his comfort zone, and retreat, when it wasn't necessary. Cotto has heart that can't be questioned, but I do not think he has the warrior mentality.

Brently you should not have bothered with this thread. This place is full of total fuktards that were never going to consider your point logically.

I typed a long post and my iinternet went out on me. Son of a bitch. I'll hit this thread up later. Let me just say I disagre...
My main reason being, the cut, his past, etc. Remember the Torres fight, what he went through. Some people clinch when hurt. For some reason Cotto's not capable of that, so he moves away.
I hope you didn't ponder that response for too long. Seriously dude you can do better than that. But what I say that really warranted that comment??? Seriously some people just can't handle it.
I can handle it but people like u write stupid post. I wonder whos ur favorite fighter?
Okay here we go....For **** sake I should have know this thread would be too much for people and YES I have.
I wasn't being serious I was pulling an Ult...
